  • Veteran and former soldiers of the Parachute regiment parade through the streets of Westminster during the annual Armistice Day. It is 11th November, the day that armistice was signed to end the first world war and veterans from all over the country gather in their former ranks, parading though London's political district near Parliament with their old comrades in rank, as they would have in their glory days. They are the dying survivors of the era of 20th century warfare.

  • Two serving soldiers in civilian suits but wearing the insignia and badges of the Royal Military Police (RMP), talk quietly together while poignantly paying their respects to the hundreds of markers that symbolise war dead. Crosses and poppies mark anonymous fallen British soldiers and other servicemen and women, all killed during recent conflicts. Dedications from loved-ones or simply well-wishers are written on the wooden crosses on the weekend that Britain commemorates those killed on active service in trouble spots and war locations around the world, the markers a laid on the grass of Westminster Abbey's lawns on Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

  • Two shipbuilders chat beneath the heavy lifting cranes at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work and the two men in the foreground and those behind, wear bright yellow hard hats, protecting them from steel edges and rusting machinery. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.

  • Set among summer fields of tall corn, is the WW1 Somme cemetery of Redan Ridge, Serre Road, near Serre-Les-Puisieux, France. Surrounded by summer crops, the scene is peaceful and idyllic with a setting sun, a landscape of rural France - far from the horrors of the battle fought here almost 100 years ago. The battle was one of the largest of World War I, in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed, making it one of humanity's bloodiest battles.

  • Locals from Cirencester in the county of Gloucestershire sit below the first world war memorial on St John Baptist <br />
church wall in the city centre. A mother and child sit on a bench below the names of those local men lost in the first war (AD1914-18) - the 200 names tell a story of the lost generation of youth, now replaced by the modern Brit, unused to self-sacrifice and loss on an unimaginable scale. The church is medieval, renowned for its perpendicular porch, fan vaults and merchants' tombs. The chancel is the oldest part of the church. Construction started around 1115.

  • A veteran and former soldier from world war 2 stands in a side street of Westminster during the annual Armistice Day. This is a full-face portrait of a quintessential Englishmen from a bygone era, typical of the stereotype expected by those from other countries when in fact, he is a disappearing breed. The man has been parading though London's political district near Parliament as old soldiers march with their old comrades in rank, as they would have in their glory days. We see his pencil moustache and the famous bowler hat. The bowler hat, also known as a coke hat, derby (US), billycock or bombín, is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown originally created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke. The bowler hat was popular with the working class during the Victorian era though it came to form the official work uniform of bankers.

  • An entire rank of Grenadier Guardsmen musicians are playing clarinets as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations, one event in a series to mark her 50th year on the throne. The soldiers have formed a marching band guard that is making its way along the Mall, that broad avenue from Buckingham Palace. Focus is on one guardsman whose bearskin is slightly higher than his of his comrades. Their music sheets are pinned on specially adapted stands on the ends on their instruments making the job of marching in absolutely straight, regimented lines the more easier. The Grenadier Guards (GREN GDS) is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry. The Grenadier Guards celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2006.

  • At dawn, a week after the September 11th attacks in New York and in Washington DC, we see the haunted figures of war veterans looking up at the names of dead comrades of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC where 58,195 names of casualties are recorded on its polished wall. In the foreground are some of those mens' identities whose average age was 19 in the sixties and seventies. A hazy sun rises over the point of the Washington Memorial at a time when the nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, when the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to trace their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth.
